    Yonex ArcSAber Z-Slash


    Thanks for your reply. Yes the serial number starts with 7, but I mistyped the date code. It should be 171009JP, (which makes it even more copy like).
    What about bbeshop.com?

    I hope you are really miss typing the ser# and date code for the ARC-Z. Otherwise, you are accusing BBE selling fake Yonex...

    Hi everyone,

    Just joined in so please excuse me if it has been addressed already. I thought while posting the serials for checking is a fine idea, however, what if it falls into the wrong hands, like imitations copying the serials also so that it checks out fine when called in for Yonex's verification?

    I hope this user has made a mistake BBE shop is probaly in the top 5 most ordered from website (along with mybadmimtonstore and shuttlehouse etc) of BC users and this would mean that they would be selling fakes to more than just this user

    It seems nobody bothers that this well-intentioned thread could be festered with copycats. All the legit serials are just the right meal ticket for the imitators to fall prey on...

    people care however common sence is what should provail
    here's what I do when I buy a racket
    1. Make sure I know the store I am going to buy something from is legit
    2. Look at the price if it looks too good to be true then it probaly is
    3. Look at the serials on the racket make sure that they look ok and legit check the paint and if you buy online search BC to make sure they are legit

    Some things you never do
    Buy from eBay, sellers that are selling below market prices, or newsystore etc

    also pay via credit card or paypal because if it's fake you can claim money back within a certain period of time

    Noted sir, however, if the fakes gets mixed into the legits and it went to regular stores who are clueless?

    If it gets mixed with the real ones, they should probably sell the same amount as the real ones, correct? So, how to tell, even legit ones have minuscule imperfections too, right?

    What to do now, post the serial numbers here but then it checks out! That's what scares me!

    Cheers,
    Estoril

    Here is one way to safe guard yourself. Purchase your racket from a Yonex Authorized Dealer. This way, there is no worry about the numbers checking out.
